Progress System Tables Guide
Written by Dan Foreman, Current Edition: October 2011Virtual System Tables (VST's) were added in V8.2. VST's provide access to data that was previously only accessible through the promon utility. The Progress documentation gives a basic description of each Virtual System Table (VST) but is generally inadequate for anyone attempting to do so serious work with VST's.
Topics Covered:
- VST Implementation
- Performance Overhead of VST's
- VST Bugs
- VST Comparison: V8, V9 and V10
- Writing programs that use VST's
- Undocumented VST fields
- VST Indexes
- VST Record Counts
- VST's that can be updated
- Stale VST Data
